Roy Halladay finally got his first win of the season against the Marlins, a win which just so happened to be the 200th of his career. Halladay went eight innings, surrendering only one earned run on five hits, bringing his ERA down to 7.63 from 14.73.

Halladay had his best outing of the year, but the story of the night quickly turned to Laynce Nix in the top of the ninth. With the game tied 1-1, Nix came up to pinch hit for Halladay, and delivered. He smashed the go-ahead home run, marking his second pinch-hit home run of the season, helping the Phillies to win, 2-1.

The Phillies brought the game back from 0-2 to 2-2, but a clutch two-RBI single in the eighth inning put the game away for the Reds, who won 4-2. Cincy's Brandon Phillips came up big in the eighth with the bases loaded and did what needed to be done, much to the dismay of Phillies pitcher Jeremy Horst.
